Hey fellows

I ran a script on the server and it generated this in the error log...

[Sat Nov 30 20:44:40 2002] [error] (12)Cannot allocate memory: exec of /hsphere/local/home/robert/minisitez.com/cgi-bin/mkdir.cgi failed

[Sat Nov 30 20:44:40 2002] [error] [client 172.138.65.22] Premature end of script headers: /hsphere/local/home/robert/minisitez.com/cgi-bin/mkdir.cgi

Any clues on what this means?

Thanks

Dave

One very likely cause is you've got an infinite loop somewhere in your program. Additionally, it seems possible that while the script attempts to post the error to the browser, there's an error in doing so because no content type header was printed.

Or it could mean that there was not enough memory to run the script in the first place.


The premature end of script headers error will occur due to the preceeding error, it doesn't necessarily mean no header was printed.

Ok fellows thanks so far. I did delete some files on the server and advised the owner to upgrade asap. Now here is the remaining problem...

[Sun Dec 1 13:24:54 2002] [error] [client 216.39.50.157] File does not exist: /hsphere/local/home/melissa/latinmusicartists.com/robots.txt

Unless this is a robots file on the server I am at a lost because the actual script does not have reference to any such file and neither do I have that file anywhere.

Thanks

Search Engine spiders look for robots.txt in your root www folder for rules on what it should and shouldn't spider. Just make a blank file and name it robots.txt and the errors will go away. Add rules to it if you don't want your whole site indexed.

So should I make this text file like meta tags as in html meta tags for robots rules or is it done in some other way?

Thanks again

Hi Fellows

I inserted the robots.txt file but some errors still remian unfortunately. Don't mean to be a bother. I will just like to get this script up and running if possible. I don't mind working to fix the problem I just don't know what the errors mean.

Thanks

Dave

Can't help without seeing the code but it looks like you are missing a " or you didn't escape something.

ok I uploaded the script here for viewing. There are other scripts involved but this one gets called on when that error was generated.

Thanks again
